    Tools from the old world

    Hey Monte, I can't recall where those Staco Hex keys are made, I will have to take a closer look. However we are already in the process of making an order to Bahco for Hex keys which will cover the larger keys, up to 22. Regardding Hultafors, then yes everything is made in Sweden and alot of it...

    Tools from the old world

    Hey North, because I live in the Faroe Islands we charge more for it than you would in Norway and the rest of Europe, because of the shipping cost to get it here. But it is on ebay.de for about 270 Norwegian kr. and add in some shipping cost and customs, I donno I would make a guess that...

    Any recommendations for a dry/wet bench grinder?

    Using American power tools in Europe?

    Righto boys, called Makita U.S today and had a nice chat with Blair, their product expert. He told me that the Hypoid Saw supports both 50 and 60 Hz. So the only thing I need to do is get a "step down transformer" so the machine is fed with 110v rather than 230v. And wholah, it should in theory...

    Using American power tools in Europe?

    Thanks for the informative replies guys :) Quality posts. Yes for the most part the catalogs are very alike. My circular saw is an old Metabo from the early 80's and in my opinion slightly underpowered and lacks certain features that modern saws have. We have some saws at our store, but they...

    Using American power tools in Europe?

    Hey there. I was just curious if anyone is familiar with using power tools which are bought in the US but used in Europe. See, the US Makita catalog offers a wider selection of power tools which are not available here in Europe. I can imagine that 50 years ago this could be a problem for...

    Tools from the old world

    Thats a badass angle grinder there Monte. Looks like it has served well but could still go to hell for another 10 years easily. Proper tool that. Heavy built made to last. As I promised I would have some pictures, I am going to save the best for last, so I will start of with something light and...
